This stew is so delicious and comforting. I love the way the spices all come together. I usually add a bit of extra chili powder to give it a bit more of a kick. It's the perfect meal for a cold winter day.

I've made this stew several times now and it's always a hit. The spices give it a wonderful flavor and the beef is always tender. I usually serve it with mashed potatoes and green beans.

This recipe was easy to follow and the stew turned out great! I used a slow cooker and it cooked perfectly. The beef was tender and the vegetables were flavorful. I will definitely make this again.

I wasn't impressed with this recipe. The stew was bland and the beef was tough. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well. I won't be making this again.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I think next time I'll use less chili powder. The beef was very tender and flavorful, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I usually add a few extra vegetables, like carrots and celery, and sometimes I use ground turkey instead of beef. It's always a crowd-pleaser.

Yum! This stew is a keeper. The spices give it a nice kick, and the beef is fall-apart tender. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a hit with the whole family. Will definitely make this again!
